dominKnow Reviews

Tool is excellent at developing courses based on the storyboards and unique creative aspects our factory can program.

would like a little more flexibility for test questions, in particular pre-testing or testing out capabilities

translating content into multiple languages

dominKnow met all our our requirements for create mobile responsive eLearning content. Though we also the Articulate 360 which includes Rise that can author mobile responsive courses, Rise is very limited in terms of custom interactions, reporting needs, xAPI support and data that we can capture from those courses. I see dominKnow as a very good combination between Storyline (custom interactions & other capabiliites) and Rise (mobile responsive content).

Beyond this, what sets this vendor apart from the others is the excellent support, and the great team that stands behind their product. From initial training to any troubleshooting that we needed, we've gotten the fastest response and the most helpful support from dominKnow. And unlike Articulate where we can submit a bug or a feature request and have to wait for years for them to prioritize and implement them (one issue & feature I submitted have been in their queue for over 4 years, with many others voting on it), dominKnow team closesly collaborates with you to understand your issues, or ideas and then either implements those changes or follows up with you later once those changes/fixes have been made (usually within a month or two the most!). I especially would like to call our their SVP, Dr. Paul Schneider for the personalized attention and help he's provided to our team, especially during some issues we recently came across with integrations with our new LMS. He went above and beyond and offered to jump on calls and emails as needed to help us get things sorted (the issue turned out to be from the LMS vendor side, not dominKnow). So, kudos to the whole dominKnow team!

dominKnow does have a steeper learning curve than some of the other tools, hence not the fastest to implement. The GUI could be a more user friendly, and can use some UX optimization. However, as I mentioned before, their support/team members more than makes up for these by providing excellent service!

dominKnow has a lot more expanded mobile responsive authoring capabilities that other tools that we've evaluated. We needed mobile responsive content with specific data collection and customization needs - dominKnow met these (and more!).

No variable manager

Sometime wysiwyg is not actually what you see

Some elements dont work as expected

I believe a variable manager is on the road map

Mac compatibility. Web-based authoring. Software simulation authoring.

Some basic formatting features seem to be missing, like nested bullet lists.

The need to create software simulations on a Mac.

It combines the best from others.

Now I use DominKnow, my courses are future proof because they comply with newer standards like CMI5 and xAPI.

I can find that elsewhere, but not if I *also* want them to look great on mobile devices and be quick to build.

I love that I can add "widgets" to it to expand functionality such as custom interactives into the product itself - I can't do that with others. I actually added one that makes courses automatically adjust to reflect the legislation of each user's home state. That's how flexible it is.

There is not much to be honest. I guess it would be great if more courses "out there" had been built using DominKnow so there was an existing body of work, but that would mean that it would have had to be *old* like the others and so I'd be missing the freshness and modernness I get with DominKnow.

Anyway I'm aware DominKnow is releasing converters so I know it won't be an issue in future anyway.

Our business creates eLearning courses for demanding clients. Until now we've had to juggle multiple tools and tell them "yes you can have that... but it means you cant have THAT" because every other tool is missing something they want.

With the older well known tools, we can use Rise and make your course mobile friendly... but then we can't add even a simple drag/drop! Or... "yes we can use Storyline and add cool interactives... but it no... it won't work well on a mobile".

Then we got DominKnow, started ticking all boxes with a single platform and never looked back. It's simpler for us, allows us to provide better customer experiences and win more business.

The system is easy to use and fully functional. Other similar tools I have used do not offer all of the same features including a full library of images and avatars; an ability to create a content-review process; a PPT converter; etc. Plus, it is simple to use and includes great help as well as a community to see other examples that people have developed.

Honestly, I can't think of anything I dislike

While 3rd-party content serves a purpose, the ability to create our own content due to specific needs including certain images, text and laws. With this tool, we can not only build the content but put it through a review to make sure legal, marketing and all other groups are satisfied with the content.

DominoKown ONE gives you a huge toolbox for content creation along with several different options for presenting. It's not really a toolbox - it's more like a tool shed. Options galore!

We've seen some issues with screen size and resolution. Sometimes fit to screen requires you to scroll when you shouldn't have to.

This platform gives us everything we need to make customized traininig courses. The industry we are in is a little outside the norm, so we often have to make content from scratch. This solves our problem of LMS content, because you can't really use LMS content off-the-shelf when you are a consumer reporting agency.

Versatile interface, Responsive design. Ability to collabrate with team members

There is no point to dislike dominKnow | ONE

Content creation, easy rewiew and giving feedback

Best in class authoring features to create engaging eLearning assets. Great translation features to support global projects local adoption. Excellent customer support

Need more fine tuning on Doc output. Would need more support in establishing connection between dK and external tool (For Eg: Machine Translation)

Helps create content rapidly and which are highly engaging . The translation workflow realy helps simplify the localisation.

I love all the built in options and that you take feedback and continue to improve the platform. It's easy to pick up and use.

I can be hard to find things on the discover page. It would be nice if it was more organized.

Flow is great so the learning is adaptive. It helps us make our courses more interactive.
